Through the Whirlpool Rapids.
COOPER GRAHAM REPEAls HIS BARREL FEAT AND has
NARROW ESCAPE.

COOPER GRAHAM REPEA1S HIS BARREL FEAT AND has
MARROW ESCAPE.
Cooper Carlisle ID. Graham went through the
Niagara whirlpool Rapids yesterday afternoon
under less advantageous circumstances than be-
fore. 1t was lately announced that he and Police
man Kendall would go through 1t in an open boat,
under the management Of NJ. 7. Skin, a theatrical
manager, but both men concluded that their
chances OF remuneration in case they escaped
almost certain death would be too uncertain to
make the venture.
Mr.. Graham concluded to go through On the
back OF his barrel, With canvas cover for pr0tec-
lection, but the persons TO whom he fntruSted the
about made up his mind to abandon the under
taking. A great crowd had assembled on the
railway suspension bridge and in the parks along
the sides OF the Whirlpool Rapids. Calculating on
tentiOn to the interior arrangements and when he
decided TO risk his life any way he fOu nd that
there were only two handles Inside to steady him.
self.
At $3.50 p. m. he Jumped into the barrel, remark
Ing 10 Dystanders that he would probably never be
seen alive again. Three minutes later the casK
was tOwed TO the center and let SO. At 5:36 the
barrel struck the head OF the rapids and swoOp-
Ing quickly into the breakers, was overturned.
The passage was Slow and tempestuOuS about six
minutes being occupied in the trip to the whirl-
pool In the maelStrom came The crisis. The caSk
was twice circled around before Graham heard the
pistol shots OF his friends ashore, and when he
threw open the manhOle cover it was Impossible
ivr him TO close IL. So weak was he that it WIS
almost impossible to drag himself out OF the bar
rel. just as 1t Threatened to sweep on to the
Devils Rapids, he jumped out, and started to
swim 100 yards to shore One OF Grahams help
ers feared to jump in to help him. but Constable
Andy Horn stripped on, ieaped into the boiling
So slowly was this done that 1t was feared both
men would perish. Graham was badly bruised
and probably will not attempt the feat again.
